↑ It is conceivable that this Andrew is the son of one of the other related Cowan's in the area (David, William, and Samuel). William is believed to have not married until about 1770. Samuel died relatively young, and his eldest son was not an adult until after the Revolution. David did have a son named Andrew, but this has not been fully evaluated.
